<br>
<p>Real World Groovy on Grails:  Moving Past Toy
 Examples.  In this talk,
 we'll explore lessons learned from using Groovy on Grails
 to
 build several large(ish) real world projects that are part
 of the
 ScrewPile suite.  Moving beyond trivial Grails intros,
 we'll explore
 how to build Grails apps that:  send and receive JMS
 messages, publish
 and consume RSS feeds, use scheduled jobs, integrate text
 search using
 Lucene, and parse content with Tika.  We'll also
 explore issues
 related to project structure and configuration, that are
 needed for
 building real world apps.  This talk will feature NO
 slides, just
 actual code and demonstrations!
